Today we’d like to introduce you to Rebecca (Rocky) McDaniel.
Hi Rebecca (Rocky), we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Background:
I worked as a Special Needs Teacher for students with various mental and physical disabilities for 20+ years. As a Case Mgr., my team consisted of an OT, PT, APE, (adaptive physical ed.) and Speech for collaboration with a student’s needs and objectives. One day my personal trainer asked if I wanted to take an introduction Pilates class, as an additional work-out. During her program I knew instantly this was my next calling. I enrolled in the Joseph Pilates program in 2020 while setting up my retirement from the classroom. During the coursework, it became evident that my background aligned with the modifications for adults with physical limitations. We moved to Florida in 2022, and I opened Rock Your Pilates the following year.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
I’ve had my ups and down trying to launch my Pilates Boutique, but my neighbors have been supportive.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
My Pilates classes are tailored to my clients for privates, duets and virtual sessions. During an initial consultation I take into consideration what a client’s limitations are (based on health issues) and provide modifications for a safe and challenging work-out. While previously working for Health Fit at SMH, I piloted a Golf Strength & Flexibility program to add layers to my Pilates classes. These are still offered using a combination of the Reformer and TRX. All classes are unique with tempo using carefully selected playlists to enhance a client’s experience.
